Template Tabs tab for customizing the user interface

Use this tab to add forms to the Summary tab, or to create custom tabs for the marketing object types that support this feature.

For example, you want to collect information about the outside vendor that users plan to contract with to get collateral printed. To do so, you create a form with an attribute for users to select a printing company from a list of several vendors. You also include a text box for users to enter the quoted price of each page of the collateral. You then use the Tabs tab in a project template to add a custom tab and name it Printing.

Tip: You cannot rename the standard tabs that display for object instances.

When you configure security policies for your organization, you can configure custom security permissions for these tabs.
